In honor of the glorious Dolores del Río’s Summer Under the Stars debut, I recreated this 1936 Earl Christy portrait of her for Modern Screen magazine. Dolores has become one of my favorite film actors over the past few years and I’m excited that there are a bunch of films that TCM is playing today that I haven’t seen yet! I’m most looking forward to The Trail of ’98 (1928) and The Devil’s Playground(1937).
Dolores was a major star not only from her work in Hollywood, but also as one of the foremost stars of the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Sadly, TCM isn’t playing any of Dolores’ Mexican films today. (As someone who has done work in media rights management, I’m sure TCM has reasons that Mexican cinema is underrepresented in their programming.)
That said, spend some of today falling in love with Dolores and then seek out her Mexican films! There are still a lot of films of the Golden Age I haven’t seen, but I strongly recommend checking out La Otra (1946) (probably my favorite Dolores film), María Candelaria (1944), and Flor Silvestre(1943).
What is Cosplay Under the Stars?
If you’re new here, every August, Turner Classic Movies celebrates Summer Under the Stars. Each day of the month, a different film star gets a full 24 hours of programming. In 2017, on a whim, I decided to put together closet cosplays of every woman featured that month. And so, Cosplay Under the Stars was born.

When you haven’t done makeup in 6 months so you do it all to go nowhere and just to take selfies.
